Sunday in KirksviIle.

Sunday in Kirksville reminds
one of the descriptions written of
Sunday in the villages of New
England. The quietude of the
early morning hours is undisturbed
except by the singing of the birds
in the trees that line the avenues
ON every hand. The silence re-
mains unbroken except by an oc-
casional foot fall till 9o'clock.
Suddenly the deep tone of a bell
peals out, and ere it's first vibra-
tons have died away on the
morning air all the bells in the
town are ringing the call for Sun
day school. AS if by magic the
side walks are suddenly thronged
with neatly dressed, little children,
young men and maidens, and
heads Of families all vending their
way along the beautiful avanues
of trees, to the different chapels
of the town.
Would you spend a pleasant
hour? If SO take peep into these
chapels during the Sunday school
service. As you approach one of
them, nestled among the trees,
you hear the sweetest music,
hymns of praise from the voices of
little chaildren, rivling the music of
the birds in the trees outside.
AS the songs cease the work of
lessons begins. You are sur
prised at the attendance, in
terest and attention. Every teacher
in place, no dronlng, but teachers
and pupils alike making the most
of every moment. As you go from
church to church the same scene is
repeated. Before you have time
to be seated the superintendent
comes forward and asks you to
join class, welcoming you with a
warmth that makes even lonely
strangers feel at home.
You take a walk around the
business portion of the town.
The business houses are all closed.
No saloon with its open doors and
crowd of loafers with loud and
boisterous talk, to break the quiet
of the Sabbath, but all enjoy that
recreation which comes of perfect
rest. Is it wonder that Kirksville
, is noted far and near, for the
, hospitality, sobriety and morality
, of its people, and that strangers
are so favorably impressed with
our surroundings? Can there be g
t doubt that these surroundings
1 exert continued influence fol-
: good upon all who come in contact
1 with them? May the quiet, order
: rest and peace of a Kirksville
3 Sabbath continue to exert its in
} tiuence upon our people, and the
strangers who find a momentary
abiding place here, through all the
!, Years to come.
e Next Sunday will be the las
: service at the Southern Methods
= church before conference. All tn,
e members are earnestly requested
It to be present, and the publ,
e cordially invited.
